Submitting Your Information to Employers
We will discuss an opportunity with you before submitting your CV or personal information to an employer, unless we have already agreed the types of roles, employers or locations you would like us to target on your behalf.
Where possible, we will only provide information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant recruitment process.
Our Lawful Basis for Using Your Information
Depending on the circumstances, we may process your personal information because:
-
It is necessary to take steps at your request in connection with a potential employment opportunity or recruitment service
-
It is necessary for our legitimate interests in providing professional recruitment and search services
-
We need to comply with a legal obligation
-
You have given us consent where consent is the appropriate legal basis
Our legitimate interests include identifying and contacting suitable candidates about relevant opportunities, matching candidates with employers, maintaining professional relationships with candidates and clients, developing our recruitment network, providing recruitment services and developing our business.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider whether those interests are balanced against your rights, interests and reasonable expectations.
Sharing Your Information
We may share relevant personal information with:
-
Prospective employers and clients
-
Organisations involved in a recruitment or relocation process
-
Trusted technology, website, email, scheduling, recruitment or IT service providers
-
Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers
-
Regulatory bodies, authorities or other organisations where disclosure is required by law
We only share information where there is an appropriate reason to do so and will limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary.
International Recruitment and Data Transfers
Cameron Wallace works internationally and many of the employment opportunities we recruit for are outside the UK.
This means your personal information may be shared with prospective employers or service providers located outside the UK. Where UK data protection rules relating to international transfers apply, we will take appropriate steps to protect your information. Depending on the destination and circumstances, this may include relying on UK adequacy regulations, recognised contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism.
We will not submit your information for an overseas employment opportunity without first discussing the opportunity with you, unless we have already agreed the employers, roles or locations you would like us to target on your behalf.
Sensitive Personal Information
We do not routinely collect sensitive or special category personal information.
Where information relating to health, disability or another sensitive matter is required or voluntarily provided as part of a recruitment process, we will only use it where there is an appropriate legal basis and where it is relevant and necessary.
Information relating to criminal convictions or checks will only be collected or processed where appropriate and permitted by law.
Providing Information to Us
You are not generally required to provide personal information to Cameron Wallace.
However, where certain information is required to assess your suitability for an opportunity, verify qualifications, confirm right-to-work or immigration status, obtain references or support a recruitment or visa process, we may be unable to progress your application or introduction if that information is not provided.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purposes for which it was collected.
When deciding how long information should be retained, we consider factors including:
-
Our ongoing relationship with you
-
Whether you wish to be considered for future opportunities
-
The nature of the recruitment services provided
-
Any legal, regulatory, contractual or record-keeping requirements
-
Whether the information remains accurate and relevant
We periodically review the information we hold and will delete or anonymise information that is no longer reasonably required.
You may ask us to delete your personal information at any time, although there may be circumstances where we are legally entitled or required to retain certain information.
Keeping Your Information Secure
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration.
We also take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party providers processing information on our behalf handle it appropriately.

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you the right to:
-
Ask for access to the personal information we hold about you

Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
